Expert tasting note: (2003 vintage) "Deep, dark ruby-red color, is not opaque. Dark-fruit aromas are a little hot & dusty. On the palate a similar, hot, dusty dark-fruit character is displayed. Acidity is soft & the fruit is a little flat as a result. A structure of fine tannins gives the wine length. Alcohol is a touch warming on the finish." - 11/07 DCAMW

When to drink: 2009 to 2015
2003 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2006
First you notice the new wood flavors and aromas, then you see the name of the consultant, Michel Rolland. This is definitely a modern, polished wine that has lost some of its true Bordeaux character, but has certainly gained in depth and richness. It is maturing quickly and will be ready to drink in 3 to 4 years.
2003 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2005
